Cloudflare Shares Surge Following Strong Q3 Earnings and Analyst Price Target Increase
Cloudflare (NET) shares saw significant gains on Monday as investors reacted positively to the company's third-quarter financial results. The cybersecurity and cloud connectivity specialist reported a 39% year-over-year revenue increase to $782.5 million, alongside an adjusted net income of approximately $144 million ($0.38 per share), both of which exceeded analyst consensus estimates. Market sentiment was further bolstered by Piper Sandler analyst James Fish, who raised his price target for the stock from $333 to $337 while maintaining an overweight rating. The company's growth is being driven by high demand for cybersecurity services as organizations seek protection against potential threats posed by rogue artificial intelligence models. Looking ahead, Cloudflare provided optimistic guidance for 2026, projecting annual revenue of approximately $2.96 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $1.35.
